Although I thought I was having a great pregnancy, the doctor just informed me today that my stomach was too big and that was because of excess fluid around the baby. I have been asked to have a very controlled diet, otherwise I run the risk of miscarriage. I am worried. Has anybody had the same problem?

gayatri replied. Hi Mayurika,

I had the same problem with my first pregnancy. the doctor put me on an almost salt-free diet and actually restricted my intake of fluids. I could only have about 3 glasses of water the whole day, and that too in the month of May when it was so hot. She put me on this diet for a period of 6 weeks, and not only did I not gain weight, but I actually lost a litlle bit. But that was OK because the excess water around the baby reduced drastically and that was causing the weigt loss. So just don't worry, but you must make sure you follow a good diet though.

As per gynecologist suggestion, the pregnant women should follow a strict diet during pregnancy. She can avoid taking undercooked foods like egg or meat during pregnancy. Also, can limit drinking coffee during pregnancy as the caffeine may surge the pressure in the body.
